The best example of this is Java. It's evolved a lot over the 
years, in spite of being extremely heavily used and being an 
enterprise programming language. The Rust leadership would do 
well to keep in mind that evolution is not optional. Especially 
for a language that has a tiny fraction of the popularity of Java 
(in spite of the front page of Hacker News).
